Best convenience store in Raton. The restrooms are kept…read moresqueaky clean. There's a rather large selection of alcohol including hard liquors like vodka and whiskey. Quite a variety of snacks, candy, and even Krispy Kreme donuts! The soft drink selection isn't large but they have the basics, including tea drinks. They even have flavored syrups to add. The cups don't get very large, stopping at 44 ounce. The coffee tastes great and is always fresh with plenty of add-ons including several types of creamer and artificial sweetener. The staff is always super-friendly, and SMART! They recognize you and will talk to you like a person, not just a customer. There's also a Redbox vending machine out front for your Blu-ray/DVD fix. If you compare this store to some of the grander convenience stores in big cities, you MIGHT be a little disappointed (but just a little). However, for a small town like Raton, you just can't get any better.

And SLU.... don't even get me started. Plenty of Netflix documentaries about people there. Whistle Stop is actually a pretty decent sandwich shop that doesn't rape you like Subway. Last time I ate at SW it was like, $20 for a sandwich and a drink. Should have just went to a sit down for the at much. At Whistle Stop, my meal hits around $12. Never had a problem with the amount of meat on the sandwich. Veggies are all fresh and not "over ripe". Sandwich Artists have all been friendly and offer home town suggestions. And what is Wichita talking about, "man with an accent"?!? Are you racist or something? What a asinine thing to say about someone else.

We shared lots of amusing stories and travel info. He is a a great host, with a lovely sense of humor and we got on like old friends. The store has everything you need grocery wise, including the bonus of lots of Polish & East European items: eg. cherrys for your Manhattans and sausage sandwiches for your mountain climbing. There is also an excellent wine and European beer selection. We departed with Pierogies for our dinner and a bottle of Sam Smith's Chocolate Stout. Check out the blackboard outside for Marks Muffin of the Day. And Mr. Guy Fieri is also a fan. In short, you just don't expect such a cosmopolitan selection in the midst of a small town/village in S. Colorado - wonderful! See you in Montenegro or Slovenia Mark for our twilight years!

Think corndog (or cheesestick) minus the dog (or cheese) and stick a snickers on that stick! Then that's deep fried. I don't even need to tell you that's good. Other favorites at The Pit Stop include their thinly cut spiral fries. We always pick these up walking up and down Main Street or while watching the kiddos cruise around the Go-Kart track. Anything you get here is guaranteed to be bad for you and absolutely delicious.

Sale prices and promotions are rare, as you might expect when there is no competition. Customer service isn't great. The employee is just a cashier, not knowledgeable about spirits or wine.

For the friendly fast checkout service, reasonable liquor selection, generous business hours, and burritos, I give JR's Liquor Warehouse 4 stars.
